Bordeaux Trapper Gloves – Lavabre Cadet

Lavabre Cadet is our true favorite of the season. When we discovered their gloves, the history of the company, and its level of excellence, it seemed obvious to us to include a few pairs in our collection. We chose classics, timeless models that will last for years: the "Citadin" model with glazed lambskin gloves, for example; models with character, such as Carpincho gloves; as well as an exclusive creation for our house: a trapper glove in shearling lambskin.

The Lavabre Cadet company was founded in Millau in 1946 by Francis Lavabre. Millau is the historic heart of French glove making. Among the manufacturers in the region, the artisans of the Lavabre Cadet workshop were quickly recognized as the most skilled in the industry.

All Lavabre Cadet creations are designed, created, and manufactured in France, in Millau. The vast majority of the leathers come from local tanneries and leather dressers. Only the highest quality skins are used. The artisans and master glove makers of the house use traditional methods passed down from generation to generation to work these skins: kidskin, lambskin, deerskin, peccary, and other even nobler leathers such as ostrich or alligator.
